The Blanco River Lavender Company will be open for the Festival Tour again this year. Our country store will feature many of the same items and we will offer a few new items as well. You can cut your own lavender bundles for $6 or we will offer pre-cut lavender for $7. Ice cold lavender tea will be available for purchase by the glass. Sit under the Live Oak trees, sip your tea and enjoy the lavender.

There will be some special features on our farm this year. We will host a birding tour for the bird enthusiasts. In addition, there will be a craft class in the new barn — call to make your reservations for these events. Mr. Bill Maloney, our good friend and flint-knapper will be with us again this year. He skillfully creates beautiful arrowheads that look much like the originals the Indians left here so many years ago. He will have some of these handcrafted arrowhead available for sale. Please bring your camera…a blooming field of lavender makes a beautiful picture.

An item of interest to some is that we are in the process of converting our more than 100 year old home to a Bed & Breakfast. We plan to be ready to share our place with others by late summer. The farm house was built in 1899. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and we can accommodate 6 people. We can provide a baby crib and/or a "pack & play" for the little ones. A hammock is hanging from the backyard oaks for those lazy summer days, along with a playscape for the kids. We have river access on our property for you to enjoy sitting in a lawn chair while your feet are cooled by the flow of the clear water. We have enjoyed many picnics in the river on lazy summer evenings, which would also be available to our B&B guests. A major feature of the property are the dinosaur tracks in the river. You can actually sit in the river with your feet dangling in the tracks. We have photos of our grandchildren as they are playing in the tracks. It is an awesome sight.

For those of you not familiar with our location, the drive time to Austin airport is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, San Antonio Airport is 1 hour and the popular hill country town of Fredericksburg is 35 miles.

We think you will find our place comfortable with that sort of "down home" fee. We will rent by the week or weekend. Check our website for review photos and the opening date.
